The book itself is a most remarkable collection: five decades of the magazine’s most startling, audacious, and norm-breaking pieces on women, men, politics (sexual and otherwise), marriage, family, education, work, motherhood, and reproductive rights.
Filled with iconic art, covers, and photos, it also features a foreword from co-founding editor Gloria Steinem and contributions by bell hooks, Alice Walker, Pauli Murray, Billie Jean King, Nancy Pelosi, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Allison Bechdel, Eleanor Smeal, Brittney Cooper and Joy Harjo, as well as fiction and poetry by Toni Morrison, Audre Lorde, Joyce Carol Oates, and Rita Dove among many others.
Here’s what feminists are saying:
“Ms. has proven itself to be a vital part of our national conversation, shaping and informing essential debates about women’s rights and opportunities, and, most importantly: giving women a voice.” —Sec. Hillary Rodham Clinton
“Gloria Steinem and Ms. magazine changed the course of history for modern women, period. It's constantly evolving, that's why it's called a movement. … Always looking forward, baby.” —Whoopi Goldberg
“Full of practical guidance and thoughtful insight, today Ms. remains an indispensable resource for navigating the challenges of the 21st century.” —Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi
“50 YEARS OF Ms. couldn’t come at a more crucial moment. Sí se puede!” —Dolores Huerta, Cofounder, United Farm Workers, and President, Dolores Huerta Foundation
And be sure to stay tuned—we'll be holding Ms. community events around the country with many of the authors featured in the book and feminist leaders from across the decades whose work is reflected in the book’s pages.
